I dont know what scale you are building in but I got some photo etched checker plate from  john Haynes

Larry, Have you tried contacting Squires? I get such items from them, and if you write/phone them, ask for a catalogue; it's free, hundreds of pages, and is renewed every year if you order from them during the year. Very fast mail order turnaround, and orders over £10, no post and packing charges. HTH.
